First, that will only work if you're in the MacVim GUI. There's no way
for Vim to recognize Cmd in the terminal. However, at least with
iTerm2, it would be possible to configure the terminal to send a
specific character sequence when you hit that combination of keys;
then you could use that character sequence in a mapping.

Second, your syntax inside the brackets is wrong. For MacVim, you would use

map <A-D-n> :NERDTreeToggle<CR>

<A-...> means alt, which correlates with Opt on a Mac (I believe
<M-...> for "meta" would work too). <D-...> is a MacVim-specific thing
which means the Cmd key. (I'm not sure why "D-"; maybe because it's
the last letter of "command", the first letter already having been
used?)
